Here are my festival tips for folks thinking about checking out the festival.

Get Tickets

I honestly can't remember the last time I walked up to a movie theater and bought a ticket for a show. The perpetual planner in me has me buying my tickets ahead of time. Getting tickets ahead of time will make your festival experience so much easier. You won't have to worry if the screening you want to go to is sold out because you'll already have your tickets in hand via email! Check out the LAAPFF Box Office for more ticket info!

Arrive Early

The festival is held in multiple locations in Little Tokyo, Downtown LA, and Koreatown. Arriving early to avoid parking mishaps is a must!

The festival has provided this info about all the venues and parking. A fellow committee member also recommended ParkMe.Com for more parking info!

Ask Questions!

Many films may have a short Q&A session after the screening. Curious about why an director/writer/actor made a specific choice? Ask them!
